Re: Amazon Kindle Fire (Amazon Tablet)
With prime you get access to the Kindle Owner's Lending Library, you can have a book out at a time and one book a month. Not sure if that is per kindle or per account (I would guess account). The book selection is pretty massive and extensive.

I'll have to consider it. I don't order enough from Amazon to see the benefit to have Prime over free shipping. If I'm ordering from Amazon, I'm likely spending over $25 anyway.
Of the things I do purchase, most are books which I get via wireless.
Don't think this really helps me, but I do like the idea of a book a month. That being said, unless I'm reading $79 worth of books in a year, it won't help me. I love reading, but I don't read enough to cover that especially if most of those books I want to read aren't covered by Prime."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Amazon Kindle Fire (Amazon Tablet)
I'm going to buy a Kindle Fire shortly and that's the one that's peaked my interest as well. The one with the fold (for "standing") seems good as well, but I'm afraid I'll fold it back accidentally while I'm reading or looking at stuff (while holding it like a book).Comment

Re: Amazon Kindle Fire (Amazon Tablet)
Have any of you guys used the Fire to view PDFs? A lot of my more complex board games have some hefty manuals and I'm thinking it might be easier to use a Fire with the PDF while we play as opposed to flipping back and forth through the book (I assume you can highlight things in the PDF on the Fire as well).
Also, for those who have one, how is it now that it's been out a few months? Has your use increased? Decreased? What kind of battery life are you guys experiencing?I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams

My usage is about the same, though I've been reading less. Not because of the Fire, but because I've been using the time on the train to write/outline. I go through those moments. I still use the Fire to watch Hulu if I'm at a table and don't have the television near me."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: Amazon Kindle Fire (Amazon Tablet)
I use pdfs with mine, works fine though I haven't tried highlighting and what not, just basic reading.
I use mine every day to read books. I don't use the web function so much nor do I watch movies on it. I use the music player quite a bit though. I think my usage has stayed pretty steady since I got it on release day.
The battery life is excellent imo. It will last for days and days on standby. I never turn it off. I can read a full day it seems without recharging. I do keep wifi turned off though unless I'm using it so I am sure that helps. It doesn't take very long to fully charge either. I love this thing.PS: You guys are great.
